In reply to the discussion: So whoever hates Ron/Rand Paul the most, "wins" every DU argument? [View all]ljm2002
(10,751 posts)38. You really have no shame, do you?
You make it a practice to claim that other DUers are followers of Rand Paul (as in, "Sorry if I offended Rand Paul supporters"
because they agree with him on the surveillance issue. Then when someone points out that you agree with Cheney on the surveillance issue, so that must mean you're a Cheney supporter? Then you cry foul.
Tit for tat is a fair strategy, particularly for pointing out rank hypocrisy. If you will persist in hurling accusations of DUers supporting Rand Paul, then you must expect to be called on it. The fact that your continual accusations against fellow DUers are allowed to stand is shameful and has only served to increase the acrimony here.

Yes. Apparently the Pauls have up-staged Ralph in the villainy department. ~nt

I don't think so. "Fuck Ralph Nader" is still the party over principle trump card.

The OP got a thread hidden earlier because it was gratuitous Obama hating.

Ron Paul sez he's into auditing the FED, etc., but this Koch funding suggests otherwise?

Rand is ALEC gone federal. All the same Koch game plan, No deviation. Not. Cool.

Odd how the 1% is funding Rand. Not in their best interests, huh. Who's kidding who?
